Climate Podcasters: Adaptation Tech and Finance/Art and Activism (and bonus Extreme Heat Research!)

In episode 213 of America Adapts, we are joined by two fellow climate podcasters and an expert in extreme heat. First is Louie Woodall, who hosts Climate Proof, a podcast focusing on adaptation finance, investment, and technology. Then, returning to the pod, is Peterson Toscano - the host of the Citizens Climate Radio podcast - where he interviews people from all walks of life to discuss the effects of the climate crisis and the importance of taking climate action. Also joining is Dr. Larissa Larsen, a professor of urban planning at the University of Michigan, who shares some important research on extreme heat inside buildings and her efforts to get the U.S. Census to include questions on whether homes have air conditioning. Important data to have in a warming world!  We cover a lot of ground in this episode!  And yes, I share another hot take.  https://www.americaadapts.org/episodes/climate-podcasters-adaptation-tech-and-finance/art-and-activism-and-bonus-extreme-heat-research Guests in this episode: Louie Woodall – Founder/Host/Editor of Climate Proof Newsletter and Podcast Peterson Toscano – Host/Producer of Citizens Climate Radio Podcast Dr. Larissa Larsen - Professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan. Topics covered: The Finance Behind Adaptation Climate Tech and Adaptation Startups Exploring Climate Proof Newsletter and Podcast Importance of Understanding Adaptation in Business Bringing art and youth into the climate conversation Research on indoor temperatures The U.S. census and the lack of heat information Quotes from the episode: Louie Woodall:   …we need to engage the private sector in adaptation if we are to protect the most vulnerable and protect our economies as a whole from the rigors of climate change…   Peterson Toscano:  …it's so much better to talk about what we're fighting for rather than what we're fighting against… Dr. Larissa Larsen: …The census doesn't include a question around how do we keep cool? And so I think this is quite a shortcoming.   Planet Wild Links Want to restore the planet's ecosystems and see your impact in monthly videos?
